Senior Data Scientist

We’re partnering with a global SaaS enterprise that has recently acquired a logistics‑optimisation platform. They’re assembling a specialist project team to build an agentic data connector that integrates the newly acquired product with their existing cloud ecosystem. The mission: create a standalone application capable of auto‑discovering APIs, interpreting schemas, and generating accurate data mappings without manual intervention. What you’ll work on: • Build and validate ML models for automated schema understanding, entity recognition, and mapping generation. • Analyse APIs and data structures from both platforms to identify integration patterns. • Design experiments and prototypes to improve mapping accuracy and agent decision‑making. • Collaborate with engineering and product teams to shape agent behaviour and data interpretation logic. • Contribute to an agent‑first development approach, orchestrating AI tools to solve integration challenges rapidly. Skills & experience: • Strong background in DS/ML (NLP, optimisation, or schema‑matching experience is a plus). • Solid understanding of APIs, data models, and transformation workflows. • Experience with agentic AI tools (e.g., Claude, agent frameworks). • Comfortable in a fast‑paced R&D‑driven environment. • Bonus: exposure to logistics datasets or consultancy experience. Tech environment: • GCP • Python (Django beneficial) • GraphQL • React (handled mainly by engineering) Contract: 6 months (Inside IR35) Rate: £550-£650 p/d Start: ASAP Location: Remote (UK or Europe) This is a unique opportunity to shape a genuinely agentic, AI‑driven integration engine within a major global tech organisation.
